Hey gang, was wondering if it is safe to drive with the side curtains in and no soft or hard top on? Will they want to pull themselves out on the freeway?
Thanks in advance for any sage advice!

I have driven both of my cars with side curtains in with a Bikini top installed with no problem.

me too, in fact I have no soft top but a good set of curtains. I love the bikini and surprisingly the bikini and curtain combo is pretty dry.Not completely though
I do have a hard top but man is it loud with it on. Thought of that sound proofing stuff for the back end maybe. _________________ foirmer pro guitarist with 80s band Atlanta

Why would you want to do that? What's the point? |

Was rebuilding my soft top and it was off for an extended time as I used my Thing as a daily driver.
Driving on the freeway was a bit of a challenge, not an issue now as top is complete! _________________ BAY PRIDE!
